Hello everyone,

I've just received and email from this email address  "ebay@approved-purchase.com"

It is about the info for a payment that should be done via bank transfer. Is it safe to proceede?

This is the auction on here, plaese see the descriptio:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Zeiss-Milvus-Otus-Lens-Set-5-Lenses/333564429797?hash=item4da9fd45e5:g:VV...

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

Regards

Is a SCAM. A compromised Account. The Item won't exist. You should only ever Pay through PayPal to secure Buyer Protection.

Thanks 🙂

I thought so, but I tried to contact the owner of the account and the person has the "contact seller" option disabled. Tried to contact ebay customer service but with no luck.
This account has now lots of biddings open and they are all the same. You contact them outside ebay and then they sent you the fake email.

Any idea or help in reporting it it would be great and much appreciated
